Sand Art Brownie Mix

This is an excerpt from my family's blog, which I thought would be appropriate to move on over here. They make great gifts!

I saw this in last year's "Taste of Home" and thought it would be the perfect project for my kids to work on with me as teacher Christmas gifts. We made 7 jars of this brownie mix, and of course one for us. One has to try the recipe out before we mass distribute it, right?

I got the jars from The Container Store for $4 each. The ingredients were about $20, and that makes 7 gifts. Not bad for a teacher gift, huh?

Despite my plan for the kids to work on these with me, they lost interest pretty quickly. We got enough involvement for each kid to take a picture "in action", and then it was pretty much time for Kevin and I to work like 60 finishing these out while the kids played.

Ta dah! The completed jars. I will decorate them and send a final pic. Homemade by Jill has some great ideas for decorating jars for Christmas.

About Me

I was somewhat crafty pre kids, but 3 kids later, it is therapy for me. Sewing, crafting, and crocheting is like breathing clean air. My granny and mom sewed beautiful clothes for me as a child. When I had my daughter, those desires kicked in and I am so proud to hear her say, "My mommy made this." I do have a hard time finding time to sew, but love the idea of making all of my family's clothes!
